Almay Intense i-Color Bring Out Powder Shadow Reviews

I think it looks really great. It is idiot-proof and really brings out my eyes. I even got a compliment from an acquaintance who is a make-up artist. Only minor complaint is it settles in the crease after a while with my oily skin.

I bought this because I thought it would bring out the green in my eyes a bit more than any other shadow I've tried. I was disappointed, however. The shadows go on very light, so layering them is a must to achieve any kind of effect. I felt like the shadows gave me a kind of costume-like look -- I looked like I was ready to go on stage rather than go out anywhere. The wand included with the se...read moret was also not good for applying the shadows. I did like the colors when I actually got them to look the way I wanted, but the hassle was too much in the end.— 5 years, 12 months ago

My eye color is blue or green depending on what I'm wearing. I first tried the Blues 102 - Not a good choice for someone approaching 50 years old. But the 202 is excellent - my eyes are blue most of the time. I use brushes to apply so I get less color around my eyes, more color coming from within my eyes. I'm not wild about the shimmer and wish Almay would make these colors in Matte. Also, I use the Brown Topaz eyeliner for the best effect. Love it, love it!

Recently bought this and I'm not satisfied. Seems like I really have to grind in there to get any color so I'm thinking the pigment saturation isn't so great. Also the colors seem strange for my skin tone, hair color and such. Seems as though these would look better on a blonde or would be better suited for spring or summer? I also think I may be allergic since my eyelids sort of burn when I w...read moreear it, but that maybe from trying to get the color on. I'm still working with it though! UPDATE! I'm mixing with contact solution a tip I found online. Looks Great!— 6 years, 3 months ago

I have very dark brown eyes. I followed the instructions on how to put it on and; Not very effective I find. Although I must say that the lilac-purple colour is very pretty. It's does not INTENSE my eyes that much.

I've been using this for about 2 years now. I've tried lots of different eye shadows, but this is my fallback. I love how it makes my eyes look. Great smokey eye! Wears well, doesn't travel around my face.

i can't vouch for the other colors, but blue works really well! i "acquired" this from my little sister's makeup bag after i noticed how good her eyes looked without a super obvious makeup-y look. the highlighting shade looks a bit scary icy blue but a light touch with that and good blending make for a perfectly done daytime look that makes my eye look tres belle. it does tend to fade by the end of the day though.

I use the trio for browns and I've found it to be a pretty good eyeshadow. The fact that they put these colors together is very convenient and I find that I often use the colors alone as well. The one complaint I have is that they didn't seem to wear for very long. Most of the shadow is gone after a few hours.
